Because I'm not a literalist and it made the most sense for me to do so.That first one could apply to primitive, hypothetical humans before Adam and Eve. Because it was Heaus in the second one, I cannot deny anything from that at all. And can you go into more detail on how the Hebrew word for day means literal, consecutive, back-to-back days?

1. Jesus is talking about Adam and Eve.
3. The Hebrew word for Day, when used with a number, always means a literal day, throughout the Bible and in other Hebrew texts.

Also, in Matthew 19:3-6 and Mark 10:3-9, Jesus describes Adam and Eve as the first married couple. We can also understand from Genesis that Adam and Eve were the first humans to reproduce. Jesus says that Abel was the first murder. I'm virtually completely sure that if there were humans before Adam and Eve, there would be murder.

I'll be writing up another set of verses that show that Jesus specifically shows that creation took place over six days, but it might be rather long, so I'll do it in another post and still respond here.
